Last night we found out that my husbands mother has Lou Gherigs disease which also has the name als this is the disease that the book and movie Tuesday's with Maurry was based on. I have never seen him so sad. I feel like he should go to Boston to visit her as she is very upset but he does not want to leave in case the birth mother goes into labor. > Does anyone know anything about ALS and anything that would be helpful for my husband? All I know is that she is progressing very rapidly as it has taken them quite some time to diagnose her.
